AbstractObservations of radio emission from the quiet solar atmosphere and the associated emission mechanisms are discussed. Long wavelength observations, with a spatial resolution of ∼1 arc min are ideal for the study of the large scale structure of the corona, including coronal holes, arches, streamers and the base of the heliospheric current sheet. These structures are observed both beyond the limb and on the solar disk, with little line of sight integration. We also discuss diagnostics of electron temperature and density, as well as the interpretation problems arising from the inhomogeneity of the corona and refraction effects.
